Top Sites Works On My Home Computer, Doesn't Exist On My Work Computer?

Downloaded Safari 4 for Windows yesterday on my two primary PC's. My home machine runs Vista, the Top Sites icon can be placed on the toolbar, Top Sites is a choice within the Bookmarks Bar.
My work machine, running XP, different story. Top Sites isn't there. Isn't in any menu, icon not a choice to drag/drop on toolbar.
What gives?

Should have mentioned this too:
Cover Flow exists on my Vista machine at home, again non-existent on my XP machine at work.
Are Cover Flow and Top Sites somehow disabled for XP?

Is this what I am missing ?

I just checked the database sessions.
It is infact hitting the database with the repository username.

Safari 6.2 launches with Top Sites instead of my Home Page.

I just upgraded my OSX from 10.6.8 to 10.8.5 and updated to Safari 6.2. Now when I launch Safari, Top Sites appears. I would rather have Safari launch and open my Home Page. Is this possible?

Choose Preferences from the Safari menu, choose the General tab, and change what new windows and tabs open with.

Safari 7.0 top sites remain blank

Dear Safari specialists,
after upgrading my MacBook Pro 13" 2,53 GHz C2D (2009, 8 GB RAM, 500 GB SSD) from Lion 10.7.5 directly to Mavericks, the following problem arose with Safari: The browser no longer displays preview pictures for my top sites.
All I can see are black rectangles with a dark grey safari icon in the center of every top site preview:
Steps I took to isolate the problem:
1) Pressing CMD+R in the top sites view. This caused the top sites' captions to change to the corresponding websites' current titles. So it seams reloading the top sites works, it just doesn't create preview pictures.
2) The result made me suspect a permissions problem when writing new preview pictures to the disk. So I checked permissions on the ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/ folder and the "Webpage Previews" folder within. They're read&write for my (admin-level) user. I even changed them to read&write for everyone - but to no avail. I also ran "repair permissions" in the hard disk utility.
3) I reset Safari using Safari's reset-window in the browser's menu. Everything was checkboxed, still no change. I also tried restarting the system after a reset and before reopening the browser.
4) I closed Safari and removed the following folders and files:
~/Library/Safari/*
~/Library/Caches/Metadata/*
~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/*
~/Library/Caches/com.apple.WebKit.PluginProcess/*
~/Library/Coockies/*
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Safari.*
~/Library/PubSub/*
~/Library/Saved\ Application\ State/com.apple.Safari.savedState/*
Then I opened Safari again to force the browser to recreate each and every file with correct contents and permissions. Nonetheless, I was greeted with the top sites page containing the same black rectangles instead of website preview pictures. Reloading didn't help, the result was the same as described in 1). So I put the old files back in their former places.
5) I created a new user account, switched to that one, opened Safari there and tried reloading. Interestingly, the top site previews filled up the formerly black spaces. So in this new user account everything works as expected. Transfering the "Webpage Previews" folder contents to my regular user account even causes the corresponding preview pictures to appear in my regular safari - except the ones that weren't included in the other user account's Safari top sites selection, of course. This doesn't solve the problem, though, because once again the copied previews cannot be updated in my regular safari account. Pressing CMD+R doesn't change them back to the black rectangle state but simply leaves them untouched even though the website visible contents has changed in the meantime.
6) Going to the console app revealed that during my attempts to reload the preview pictures (see 1) ), the following entries are created in system.log (excerpt):
macbook-nick.fritz.box com.apple.WebKit.WebContent[1855]: tcp_connection_destination_prepare_complete 32 connectx to 2a00:1450:4005:809::101f#443 failed: 65 - No route to host

macbook-nick.fritz.box com.apple.WebKit.WebContent[1855]: tcp_connection_handle_destination_prepare_complete 157 failed to connect
I'm not sure what these entries mean. My first idea was that there may be a network problem connecting to my top sites. This wouldn't explain, though, why they all load properly when opened directly in safari by entering their URL or when clicking on them in the top sites view. It also wouldn't quite explain why everything works fine in the second user account (see 5) ). The second thought was that maybe Little Snitch caused some disturbance in my network traffic that blocked Safari from fetching preview pictures (even though Little Snitch also runs in the second user account). But even when turning off all network filtering, the problem persists.
Now I've run out of ideas. One hypothesis left is that there's a database file hidden somewhere that needs to be updated in order to allow Safari to create a link to preview pictures which are only then created in the Library folder's subfolders. That database file may be corrupted, who knows. Besides the fact that I don't even know if such a database file exists, I have no clue where it coult be found.
So - any thoughts on this one? Any option I may have missed out on trying?
Best,
Nick

I found what may be the solution or at least a big step forward. Deactivating the preview picture function and turning it back on again made Safari finally create snapshots for my top sites and fill up the formerly empty rectangles. It worked like this:
1) Close Safari.
2) In the terminal application enter:
defaults write com.apple.Safari DebugSnapshotsUpdatePolicy -int 2
3) Open Safari, then close it again.
4) In the terminal application enter:
defaults delete com.apple.Safari DebugSnapshotsUpdatePolicy
5) Open Safari again.
It's still not working exactly like in Safari 5, though. Preview pictures in top sites only seem to get updated when I click on them to visit the corresponding websites. It doesn't seem to happen in the background. So it doesn't present me with a little star icon to notify me of any unread new contents in the top sites view.
I'll have to dig in deeper to figure out if this is the intended behaviour for Safari 7.0 or if there's still something wrong. Any thoughts on this?

No Top Sites or Cover Flow

On Safari I don't have the option for top sites or cover flow in history. I checked and I have the right graphics card and everything, but still refuses to give me the option after reinstalling it. This is really starting to tick me off...please help!

Add me to the list of people with no Top Sites feature. I have a windows XP SP3 machine both at work and another at home. The one at work is working fine. I open up safari 4 beta and get the top sites page. At home I just installed it and I don't even have any "top site" feature whatsoever. Any ideas?

"Top Sites" capability GONE after upgrading to Safari 4.0.3

In a nutshell:
I've been running Safari 4.X June 09 with Top Sites becoming a key tool in everyday use, and a cool one at that. Top Sites worked on 15 August, did the minor rev upgrade from 4.02 to 4.03 on 16 August, and the Top Sites function is GONE on the 17th.
The rest of the story:
Upgraded to Safari 4.0.3 last night and to my dismay the TOP SITES function is now just GONE. No explanation, no warning, just "poof."
Read through the discussions, read through the support pages, took the immediate advice to reinstall...then tried the instructions for deleting select files under under com.apple.safari...et cetera...No Joy, 2 hours lost.
Read the discussions MORE CLOSELY and found this: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3410
"Safari 4: Top Sites, Cover Flow features require compatible graphics card"
So Let me get this straight...I accept a minor rev upgrade, from 4.0.2 to 4.0.3, and LOSE functionality? Really, guys?
I lose the functionality, apparently, because the Intel GMA 950 is apparently not Quartz Extreme compatible.
Ok, then, riddle me this Batman: the support article above is dated June 2009. I've been running Safari 4.X since then with top sites working quite well under 4.0.2. My early adopted 2006 Mac Mini hasn't changed since it's manufacture.
What's going on? What am I missing? Anyone else seeing this?

P.S. From the Logs
Chipset Model: GMA 950
2009-06-11 16:59:26 -0600: Installed "Safari" (4.0)
2009-07-17 20:46:41 -0600: Installed "Safari" (4.0.2)
2009-08-16 22:44:21 -0600: Installed "Safari" (4.0.3)

Mikate,
Does your iMac have an Intel GMA 950 chipset? If not, then your comparison is not valid. If it does have the same chipset as my Mac Mini, then you may have eliminated a possibile cause. (same os + same chipset=reasonable assumption)
The central issues is still the loss of major functionality under a minor rev change.
What changed? The requirements for Top Sites to work? Then why did it work for me under 4.0.2? According to the article, Inel GMA 950 is not specifically named as supportable and therefore the function should not have worked at ALL when safari 4.0 was installed. NO Mac specific drivers from Intel at Intel's web site. Have NOT seen any under the apple support pages, but I could be missing them.

Safari Keeps Adding Top Sites On It's Own

Hello,
I have a problem with safari keep on adding top sites on it's own. I've tried resetting it but still no fix.
Any ideas?

That's the way Top Sites works. Safari automatically places the sites you use most in the Top Sites view. You can permanently mark a site as a Top Site by clicking the Edit button (bottom left corner in Top Sites), then click the thumbtack icon on a particular site. However, unless you fill the entire view with permanent sites, the remaining space will be fluid, depending on what sites you have used most.

IPOD Shuffle doesn't work on home computer but is fine at my work machine.

I have a 1st GEN shuffle and set it up on my computer at home. Everything worked fine. One day, I took it into work and started using/charging it there. Now, when I plug it into my home computer, I get an error message indicating that my "shuffle may be corrupt"? I've tried to restore it at home but that doesn't seem to work. Even with the iTUNES and software updates. When I restroed it on my work machine, everything went fine. My shuffle now seems to have it's heart attached to my work machine and doesn't want anything to do with my home one. Am I totally screwed now? I bought it 11.20.2005 and I was kinda hoping for a longer life than this. Any ideas?

Your posting was the first of the hundreds that I read that was almost exactly like mine (even the date I received my shuffle).
How did you get Apple to replace? I really liked it when it worked - not looking to replace it at all!
Thanks for posting - really helped!!

Safari Top Sites doesn't work (on my system at least)

Open a blank tab or window in Safari ... You get a browser window blank except for a grey history search box in the bottom right corner ... Try clicking the 'Top Sites' icon in the toolbar, and nothing happens (still the blank window with the search box)
Anyone else seeing this?

I'm seeing the same problem. Even though I've visited a few sites now, Top Sites is still, upon launch, an empty page with a search box at the bottom. As a matter of fact, clicking randomly in the blank, white area will launch a page, which implies that the top sites are "there" only not rendering. When I have a web page open (such as this one) and click on History > Show Top Sites, the page I'm currently viewing remains on the screen but its features, such as links, become unclickable. The "Search" box appears at the bottom of the page, rendered on top of the page I was viewing.
This is definitely more than an issue of a flushed cache.

When sharing screen from work with my home computer, is there any way to turn off the display at home?

Hi, sorry if this is a silly question, but when I'm viewing my desktop on the home computer from work (as in I've connected by finding my computer in the finder and hit the "Share Screen" button - is there any way to turn off the display at home? It seems a bit of a waste of power to have the screen on when I'm not actually there - I just need to be able to see all my programs etc on the remote screen in order to use them. My home computer is a 2011 iMac running latest Mountain Lion, work is a 2010 MacBook Pro.
Thanks in advance!
Matt

I've set up another user on my home Mac and left that one logged in. Now when I connect from work it asks me if I want to share the screen or log on virtually as my user. I think choosing the second option doesn't power up the screen.
